The Song of My Heart

The Song of My Heart

  3/26/18

Born a sinner to sin I sought

 Fallen nature my heart was taught.

Living I thought yet I was dead

 But for my soul One stood and pled.

Alive was He yet died for me;

 And doing so He set me free.

I am a gift from God to Christ,

 Though at His death my life was priced.

In me there dwelleth no good thing

 Filthy rags are the best I bring.

Oh Lord I can no profit be!

 Still count me not a cost to Thee.

Thou Lord would have all men to see

 The pow'r of Jesus Christ in me.

But I cannot to them Christ show

If of myself I onward go.

Called to things I cannot achieve

 Except by faith I grace receive.

So when through me a work is done

Oh let it be Your praise that’s sung!

May I bear unto perfection

 None but Jesus’ own reflection.

The greatest service I can do

 Is as a glass magnify You.
